Another use of drones might be in mine defense. Yes, you read it right, mine defense.
Imagine a group of mine sweepers crossing a warp point to clear a known mine field to only be surprised by a group of drones armed with PPBs.
They also would serve to eliminate the satellite problem with planetary defenses. In SEIV satellites are deployed in spot on the map. Replace them with drones, and you have a mobile satellite network. Better yet, you can move these pseudo-satellites from planet to planet quite easily as the need arises.
Excellent suggestion by dmm. That is a mod in and of itself. How about it, suicide?
